Scout Spearheads Can and Bottle Drive for KP Music

The King Philip Music Association is set to receive a boost from one of its music students. Dante Francomano of Plainville, a KP High School senior, is conducting a can and bottle drive on Sunday, August 29th in Norfolk, Wrentham and Plainville. Residents may leave their donations at the end of their driveways by 9:00 am on Sunday morning and volunteers will be driving by to collect them.

The drive is being done in conjunction with Francomano's Eagle Scout project. He is replacing the deteriorating KP Booster shed that is one of three drop off locations for cans and bottles to support the music program at the high school. His new shed will be at the new Wood School in Plainville at 72 Messenger Street and will be up and running for can and bottle donations in early fall. The old shed is still in operation at the old Wood School until further notice. The other two drop off locations for can and bottles are the Norfolk Transfer Station and behind the King Philip High School in Wrentham.
